Dearest Darling, (and what a darling.)

            Oh what a night this would be to be going to bed with my little wife.  It’s raining outside and just the kind of night for a good lovin with my Pheety.  It won’t be long darling til those things will be coming true.  If only I could have you here tonight, what I wouldn’t do to you!  There’s one big thing I miss when I go to bed at night and that is that sweet little head of yours on my shoulder, and your arms around me and that one leg you always have over me.  It’s even going to be something to sleep between white sheets again just to have you there too, that just seems too good to true.  Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to not have you to come home to after all this hell over here.  Margaret there would just be nothing left for me, only my clothes and what are they.  Take you away and I have nothing.  Oh sure I could find another girl, that would be easy.  But since there isn’t anymore Pheety’s how could I learn to love someone else where in my heart you’ll always live.  I’ve proven to myself that you’ll never die in my heart now.  After that last letter of yours I felt my heart wouldn’t let you go.  I am not weak, it’s just that my heart was made for you.  It’s like a part that gives in a machine.  Put my heart somewhere and what happens.  It won’t work, there’s nothing there to keep it going.  You’re the gasoline to my motor Pheety.  You’re feeding my heart.  Please Darling send me some more gasoline so that my motor won’t stop.  The motor is my heart, the gasoline is your love.  It all means if you don’t send me a lot of love you’re going to break my heart.  Please write me often Sweetheart!

            You mentioned in your last letter that people tell you that you are getting better looking every day.  Darling, I bet you’re simply beautiful.  I noticed before I left you that you were becoming more beautiful every day.  You must be gorgeous, Margaret, you should be, with those big blue eyes, those tempting lips and your beautiful long hair.  What’s worrying me is, how do you keep all the wolves away, or are you?  Oh I forgot you are my wife.  I don’t have to worry about someone taking my Pheety.  Now do I honey?  You always said no one could ever take my place in your life.  Does that still go Pheety, I’ve been away a long time you know?  Anyway what have they got that I haven’t got.  I’m getting better looking myself by the way.  My hair is heavy again and is it ever wavy. I still look 20 as I haven’t aged a bit.  In Jack many boys are jealous of me.  Pheety you don’t suppose that I’ve got something that they haven’t do you?  Do you think I have?  Boy I’ll send you a big luscious kiss if you’ll answer that one. I hope you don’t think I’m being conceited Darling but the reason is you’ve told me the same things.  Can all this be true about me?  I guess it’s because I’m living right, That’s what you wanted me to do and I haven’t let you down, please believe me Margaret.  My conscience has been my guide not forgetting that I love you the same as always. There’s one thing I’ve got that no other man has or ever will have and that is Y O U honey.  I’m the only one who knows my Pheety likes to be loved.  Am I right Darling?  Anyway you think my kisses are best don’t you Pheety.  And your kisses, oh how I could go for one of them now.  I guess we both were thinking the same thing when we first kissed on the porch that night.  What a night and what a memory!  We’ve got memories that will always live in our hearts Pheety.  Those memories are the finding of our love.  Those wonderful things of our love.  Those wonderful things that we’ve did together brought us close together but me being away for quite sometime and what little we’ve written each other has darkened those memories a little.  Those memories will never die in my heart Pheety but had we written more we would be reminded of them every day.  You know we’ll both feel so much better if we write more often and keep our plans of love watered so those memories won’t wilt away. 

            When we don’t write it’s like we were left alone forever.  And when we do send our love often then that grand and glorious day will be much more to look forward to.  It will be like falling in love all over again honey and I’ve did that often but only with you, and I aint kiddin!

Well my Darling I’m getting sleepy so I guess I’ll crawl in my old bunk.  And when I’m laying there you know what I’ll be thinking.  Yes just THINKING but not for long beautiful.  It will be the real thing soon honey.  And when that day comes I’m going to be happy I’ll probably have to cry.  I just won’t know what to do.  But when I just lay eyes on you  I know it’s going to be the most wonderful feeling I ever had in my life!And what I won’t do to you.  Just wait! And how!  Goodnight Sweetheart and I remain your loving husband true as ever.

            I love you Darling with all my heart.  You know I’m not just kiddin either!

            All my love and kisses to my Bobby even yet.   Love
